My grandfather used to buy our family a kitchen appliance every year as a Christmas gift. We had pie makers, omlette makers, grills, milk shake maker and pop corn maker and many more!

Now I am the happy owner of a thermomix and I also regularly use kettle, toaster, coffee machine and pop corn machine. Pop corn is such a cheap and healthy snack for the kids that I actually bought one after I was sick of my kitchen smelling like oil from stove top popping.

I had an icecream machine and also an iceblock maker but gave both away as we never used them. DH uses our sandwich press a lot but I can never be bothered to get it out of the cupboard.

Gadgets I would like include an apple segment cutter/corer. And possibly one of those things that cut veges into spirals.

A suprising one is a zig zag cutter I got as a gift and thought I'd never use but I often cut up veges with it or let my DSalmost 4 use it to cut soft veges.
